As a leading Nordic community builder we have a big impact – and thereby a big responsibility.

Comments from the CEO

With the future in mind

For more than 60 years Peab’s business has been based on local community building. In local communities all over the Nordic region we work to improve everyday life for people where they live it. In this year’s Annual and Sustainability Report we describe our business and how it has developed over the last year 2023. At the same time we are targeting the future.

We are in the midst of a transition. We are talking about the climate transition the whole world is facing, about safe workplaces and equality in the construction and civil engineering industry. The choices we make to foster sustainable development of our business and communities today make a difference tomorrow.

As a leading Nordic and local community builder we have a big impact on the world around us – and thereby a big responsibility. We have a responsibility to push for positive development in the construction and civil engineering industry and safeguard the future of our own business and communities.

We do a lot and in the coming years we will do more. To truly succeed with the ongoing transition we need to work closely with our customers, suppliers and other partners. We need to go hand-​in-hand with politicians and actors on the financial market. This is how we take on the future.

Collaboration is the way to achieving our targets

The strength in Peab’s business model – and thereby our ability to achieve our targets – grows when our four business areas collaborate with each other and when we as a Group work together with customers, suppliers and other prioritized stakeholders.
